for the LOVE of EAT!

I'm not afraid to say it... I really love to eat out. It is a weakness, yes. I'm a busy gal and as much as I'd love to have loads of time to experiment in the kitchen, I just don't! So I eat out. 

I have many favorite restaurants. However, I have found he hardest part about frequenting my favorite's is trying something new. I find one delectable dish on the menu and every time I return, I end up ordering the same thing over and over. Is it because I take comfort in knowing I won't be disappointed? 

Here are some of my favorites I'll order time and again!

Sogno Di Cioccolata "Chocolate Dream" Carrabba's

 Pasta Sostanza- tagliarini with sauteed mushrooms, artichoke hearts and spinach in tomato basil sauce with shrimp and sprinkled with bread crumbs! Also from Carrabba's

croissants - anywhere and everywhere they are served... I literally could O.D. on these things! 
and triple espresso with three sugars - a.k.a. Cuban coffee is amazing!

The Rumba Salad - or any salad laden with avocado - I love avocado! Other similar salads at Cheesecake Factory and BJ's Brewhouse - most have a southwest twist to them - oh so delish!

Speaking of BJ's Brewhouse - their gourmet mac and cheese is incredible!

It was the gourmet mac & cheese and the fried artichoke hearts that lured me away from their Santa Fe Salad at BJ's Brewhouse.

Aside from the peel and eat shrimp and the conch fritters - I never leave The Fishery without having my orange key lime pie!

My friend, Kate, and I literally CRAVE these boneless wings from Mugs and Jugs - the mild are our favorite.
